Let’s talk CLEAN EATS. It’s a term that has gained a lot of popularity in the wellness space, and for good reason. ✅ Eating food with fresh, wholesome ingredients is a very important part of living a healthy life, especially with all the highly processed foods that are crowding our supermarkets. 😣 But when it comes to WEIGHT LOSS, clean eating should not be the ONLY consideration. “Clean cookies” are still cookies, and “clean candy” is still candy. 🍪 🍭 In fact, my energy bites are a perfect example of “clean food” that could still get in the way of your weight loss goals. They are full of healthy nuts, oats, fruit, and even vegetables, but they are also very dense, and if eaten too regularly can make it hard to shed those unwanted pounds. Don’t get me wrong - are they better than fried doughnuts filled with buttercream. TOTALLY. 💁🏼‍♀️ It’s just that some “clean” foods still require portion control and moderation, whether we like to admit that to ourselves or not. 😬 #NCtips

The other day I was scrolling through some pictures from our Mexico City trip and stumbled upon this cute outdoor seating scene. To be honest, we didn’t even eat here and I don’t even know the name of the restaurant 🤷🏼‍♀️🙃BUT I thought it was such a pretty setting that I decided to snap a pic 📸....which got me thinking about MINDFULNESS 🧘🏼‍♀️. It made me realize that WHERE we’re eating can really make a difference to how mindfully we are eating. 🍽 Whether it’s outside at a café on a beautiful sunny day ☀️ or sitting cozily next to a blazing fire 🔥 on cold winter night ❄️ - I truly believe a pleasant ambiance can make a meal infinitely more enjoyable. 😋 SO next time you sit down to eat, think about what could make the dining experience more pleasant. 🤔💭Sometimes it’s something as simple as lighting a candle 🕯 or putting on some background music 🎶 . Just some food for thought...💁🏼‍♀️#NCtips

Thinking ahead and looking for some DINNER INSPO? 🤔 💭 I’m always a big fan of BREAKFAST FOR DINNER. 🙋🏼‍♀️First of all, breakfast tacos.👆🏻= 🍳+🌮 Enough said. 💁🏼‍♀️ But also, who doesn’t love bending the rules a little? Somehow eating breakfast for dinner just feels like you’re getting away with something. 😏 Yes - you might say I need to get out a little more if that’s my version of mischief 🤣, but whatever. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #NCeats

Looking for something WARM and COMFORTING to get through the rest of this winter? ☃️ Well, I definitely was. 🙋🏼‍♀️ So I made this hearty and delicious Bolognese sauce, and it did not disappoint! 🍝 Sharing the recipe with you on the blog. 👩🏼‍💻 Link in bio! ☝🏻 #NCrecipes PS - For a light, nutrient-dense serving option, pair with spaghetti squash and top with nutritional yeast! #NCtips

I was once asked if I keep any CANDY in my pantry. 🍭🍬 The answer: NO. 🙅🏼‍♀️ But do I EAT candy? 😋 The answer: YES! 🙋🏼‍♀️ (Hello! I’m human!) So why don’t I keep it at home? 🤔 I always tell clients that the key to achieving health and wellness goals is to set yourself up for SUCCESS. ✅ One way to do that is to keep tempting foods out of sight. 🙈 If I had candy in my pantry I would constantly be tempted to eat it. And why test my willpower unnecessarily? 💁🏼‍♀️ If I want candy, I will happily go out and buy myself a treat. (My go-to is always the sour gummies! 😝) But there’s no way it’s coming home with me to tempt me every time I open my pantry. I don’t know about you...but my willpower just isn’t that strong. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #NCtips

LEFTOVER HACK: What to do with leftover fish when you don’t really feel like eating it? The other day I had leftover baked halibut, which I was kind of “over” 🙄💁🏼‍♀️...But I didn’t want to just throw it out. So I sautéed up some cabbage, rinsed and drained some cannelini beans, flaked the fish and threw it all together in a bowl. It wasn’t super pretty, but it tasted delicious 😋 and brought new life to fish that I was otherwise tempted to throw out. ♻️ (See top left of this pic 👆🏻to catch a glimpse. 🧐) Obviously, I also paired it with a bunch of roasted vegetables for good measure. 😉 #NCeats #NCtips

This was today’s lunch: MARKET PLATE made with whatever I had on hand. 💁🏼‍♀️ On my plate: roasted vegetables (mini peppers, red onion, shredded Brussels and cherry tomatoes); mayo-free salmon salad (which is basically a take on my mayo-free tuna salad...recipe coming soon!); and a scrambled egg. #NCeats

REAL TALK: Today was so busy that I realized I hadn’t eaten lunch just ten minutes before I was meeting with my next client. I ate so quickly I don’t even remember what this tasted like, but looking at this picture, I imagine it tasted pretty good. 😋 💭 Mindful eating is a PRACTICE...we may not always do it PERFECTLY. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The important thing is to recognize when we don’t so we can make a concerted effort to do it better next time. #NCtips

Somehow this ZEN moment seems like forever ago and yet, I was here just last week. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And somehow this three day week seems like it has been the longest week ever. 🙇🏼‍♀️ The combination of city life and catching up on work can take a real toll on our ZEN, but it’s important to find ways to release. For me, getting back into my workout routine gives me a little mental breathing room amidst my busy days. How do you find your ZEN? 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

Back on that LEFTOVER GRIND and I’m loving it! 🤗❤️ I honestly missed cooking at home to the point that now leftovers seem like a LUXURY. 🙌🏻 Is that weird? 🤷🏼‍♀️ It just makes me happy knowing that my fridge has nourishing, tasty food for me whenever I want it. 😋 Don’t get me wrong 🙅🏼‍♀️, I love eating out 💁🏼‍♀️, but there’s just something nice about routine, home, and...leftovers. 😉

Let’s talk about ✨ RESOLUTIONS ✨ While they can be really motivating, they also can be extremely OVERWHELMING. 🤯 When we take a step back and look at our major goals and all the things we want to start doing, it can seem daunting and ultimately lead to a feeling of paralysis and inaction. 🙇🏼‍♀️ My suggestion: break down long term goals into SMALL ACTIONABLE CHANGES. (Ex: always eat breakfast ☝🏻) This way, you can celebrate the small victories along the way, keeping you motivated and looking forward. 🤗🙌🏻 Here’s to 2019! 🎉
